.SH NAME
mkpwdict \- maintain password-strength checking database
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/usr/bin/mkpwdict\fR [\fB-s\fR \fIdict1\fR,... ,\fIdictN\fR] 
     [\fB-d\fR \fIdestination-path\fR]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmkpwdict\fR command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used by \fBpam_authtok_check\fR(5) and \fBpasswd\fR(1).
.sp
.LP
Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified on the command-line using the \fB-s\fR flag.
.sp
.LP
These source files should have a single word per line. A word should contain only alphanumeric characters; case does not matter. All other characters are discarded. Words shorter than the specified minimum (see below) are skipped. The file \fB/usr/share/lib/dict/words\fR or another spell-checking dictionary can be used as a source file but needs to be processed first so that it contains only words with minimum length, by specifying \fBDICTIONMINWORDLENGTH\fR or "\fB-l\fR" option.
.sp
.LP
If \fB-s\fR is omitted, \fBmkpwdict\fR will use the value of \fBDICTIONLIST\fR specified in \fB/etc/default/passwd\fR (see \fBpasswd\fR(1)).
.sp
.LP
 If \fB-l\fR is omitted, \fBmkpwdict\fR will use the value of \fBDICTIONMINWORDLENGTH\fR specified in \fB/etc/default/passwd\fR (see \fBpasswd\fR(1)).
.sp
.LP
The database is created in the directory specified by the \fB-d\fR option. If this option is omitted, \fBmkpwdict\fR uses the value of \fBDICTIONDBDIR\fR specified in \fB/etc/default/passwd\fR (see \fBpasswd\fR(1)). The default location is \fB/var/passwd\fR.

.SH EXAMPLES

\fBExample 1 \fRUsing Two Spell-checking Dictionaries and Filtering Them to Contain Only Words not Shorter Than 3 Letters
.sp
.in +2
.nf
example$ \fBmkpwdict -s /path/to/dict1,/path/to/dict2 -l 3\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
 This example processes dictionary \fB/path/to/dict1\fR and skips words from it shorter than 3 letters. Then it processes dictionary \fB/path/to/dict2\fR and skips words from it shorter than 3 letters. Finally these two dictionaries are merged and written to the default password dictionary location.
